Seems like a terrific deal with or without the wine pairings. I am in no way affiliated with this place other than frequenting on occasion. For those who haven't been-it's very casual- mainly a wine store with a step-up wine bar area. Most of the seating is around the bar itself. There are scattered 2-tops and rounds. and one table that can fit larger parties.
